Although I'm not a huge fan of endgame stuff (I'm lvling other classes after hitting 50 with whm), I still go out to help with CM or Ultima Weapon etc when I could becaus ehelping is fun.

However, I noticed a distinct difference between healing, say Darkhold or AV and say, CM or Ultima Weapon.

Pre-50, I would primarily rely on stoneskin, regen, Cure 1 and occasional Cure IIs; I would use medica or cure 3 when the situation calls for it.

After 50, I'm seeing a lot of spike damages which is forcing me to use Cure II a lot more often, and sometimes Benediction.

Is this normal? Considering my reflex go-to healing spell is Cure, I am not very comfortable with being so wasteful with Cure II, but if I don't, it seems that my healing can't seem to keep up.

Once again, I havn't been to any HM fights cuz I am not interested in them yet - just mainly CM and ultima weapon.
